The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Merrimack, NH) in Jan 2008
Interview
After application was submitted they called back to set up a phone interview. It was pretty straight forward and looking back, just an opportunity to gauge personal skills and basic qualifications. In mine, they offered a 1:1 interview at the end of the call and even provided me with a list of questions they would be asking.
The 1:1 interview consisted of a number of things. First, they go over the role and expectations. Next they brought in individuals who currently work the job I applied for, and they gave more specifics as to what they do on a daily basis. Management then went over a presentation on the company, compensation, and benefits. We then toured the building to see the different career opportunities that were available at the Merrimack office of Fidelity. The final phase was an interview with 2 individuals who pretty much stuck to the questions I was provided with. Nothing out of the ordinary on the actual interview.

Interview
Brief 13 minute phone call (interviewer showed up late). Interview was very rushed and unprofessional, interviewer cut me off multiple times and did not give me an opportunity to ask him any questions. Keep in mind I was recommended to him by a branch manager. Very disappointed by this first interview round! Besides the interviews extreme haste, the interview went well. Use STAR method and you'll be ok.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to solve a problem with little guidance.
Describe a situation when you had to learn something quickly to perform a task.
Basic behavioral interview in a laid back setting. None of the questions were difficult and it was mostly conversational. Very few finance related questions and more about your ability to be a good communicator.
